I think anybody over 40 playing rock on stage is cringey
did you know that in addition to continuing hobbies and pastimes they did as a young person, sometimes old people fuck??

I have been and mostly enjoyed it, but what I don't enjoy is debate and paternalistic questioning of my personal agency, so I avoid engaging on this topic.
Behold the House of Waffles
The deathless diner nesting in dreams
Turn your back to the horrors, House, House
Turn your front to me, House, House
Yes, and you get your official golden DARE card!
For real though, prom can be an exclusionary, torturous experience, especially for kids who aren't cisgender, heterosexual, white, neurotypical, able-bodied, or financially comfortable. In very conservative areas, the rules around who can attend often include stipulations that dates must be opposite genders, and the dress code requires assigned-gender conformation. It's not unusual for prom to be held at a country club or other establishment with an exclusionary, bigoted past.
Anti-Prom is an effort to make something fun for the kids that those proms leave behind.
I did not understand orgasms or realize I wasn't having them with my partners until I finally did have one. 😂 I genuinely didn't understand that it could feel that good until it did.
Another win for abstinence-based sex ed in rural America!
That is hilarious!
lol no it can't
It's really, really, really going to suck to lose that resource when troubleshooting weird hardware and software issues, but that seems inevitable at this point. He really seems to be trying to figure out the stupidest way to kill the utility of the site in the name of profit.

You are not wrong.
Ignoring for a moment the right of an occupied people to resist their oppression: "Hamas" does not include all Palestinians or all residents of Gaza. There are innocent civilians in Gaza, and collective punishment is against international law.
But back to that right: could you please point to an example of an oppressed people successfully freeing themselves non-violently?
Any thoughts on the decades of increasing oppression the Palestinian people have suffered or are you just pretending this uprising is happening in a vacuum?
What is the permissible amount of violence with which to respond to attempted genocide?
I hate to be callous
Then don't be?
You did a truly excellent job of answering the question thoroughly! Thanks for putting in so much effort, I bet this will be really helpful. ❤️
Union chapters in Iowa, Chicago and Boston promoted rallies in support of Palestinians after some 5,000 Hamas rockets rained down on Israel.
We'll just neglect to mention the white phosphorus and pretend these rockets are the only things raining down on anyone.
They addressed this in the Hamas press conference - not only do they not have enough personnel to answer all the calls for help they were getting from people trapped in the rubble, but they don't have the equipment to move the rubble, and also it keeps getting bombed so they wouldn't even be able to do much even if they had the people and equipment.
I'm on Hexbear and I see this post, wonder if you'll see my comment?
Idk anything about Linux forums, but as far as forums in general:
Are there really so many people to frequent forums and provide answers to people who seem to be in trouble
This is legitimately my husband's favorite thing to do. He's not into Linux, he's into garden tractors and mowers, but he loves the enthusiast forums and Facebook groups he's in and is very active.
Generally, he loves helping people who want to learn, and specifically, he is nuts about helping people learn to care for their machines and save them from the junkyard. He will spend hours on the phone and days over email helping people troubleshoot things, purely for the joy of helping.
And when he's not helping somebody, he's talking to other tractor nerds about how cool their tractors are and how best to take care of them! 😂🥰
So yes, there are people who like to hang around to give help, some people just really, really, really love to help.
feeling simultaneously incredibly seen and incredibly called out
how dare you
There was a minor map glitch in my neighborhood that kept directing people to my house instead of my friend's house half a mile down the road, and it took me actual weeks of effort (persistent back and forth with them, repeatedly sending map screenshots and data from the county auditor, refusing to let my case get closed, etc) to get it corrected, which I had assumed was because it was a relatively small thing affecting a couple dozen people a year.
People fruitlessly asking them to fix a bridge out notice for 10 fucking years is horrifying.
I feel seen ❤️ thank you.
Me too, this is one of the main things that stuck with me. Honestly, idk how to think of myself except in relation to my service to community, it has really shaped my entire experience of the world.

This is pretty long, but I found it engrossing and very moving.
